remarkable_printer VS toltec

Although RCU has a virtual printer, for printing from any system application, this can also be accomplished by installing evidlo/remarkable_printer. It is a fantastic piece of software that turns your tablet into a network printer, so you don't have to rely on reMarkable's limited and flaky plugins.

There is evidlo/remarkable_print, too, which gets installed to the tablet and makes it act as a network printer.

I use this: https://github.com/Evidlo/remarkable_printer

Print to rM - I love using this, such as when I need to read a pdf for a class, documentation, or even a news article. Just set it up depending on your OS, and then print from browser/file explorer or whatever program, to your rM. You can find it here.

This works well. All you need to do is get something in PDF or PNG format then "print to reMarkable". Literally takes like 2-3 seconds on average, maybe 10 seconds if laggy network.

printing to my reMarkable

A very creatively done workflow for sure. A tip I would perhaps use, permitting your work computer allows it is Print to reMarkable. I haven't set it up as I use rM Cloud but it does look pretty unobtrusive and promising. Seems more like you're just adding a bog standard printer to your list than any extra software.

Evidlo/remarkable_print is a great piece of software that lets you print directly from Windows to the reMarkable. It installs to the reMarkable, so it's not a plugin installed in the PC, so the tablet will appear as a regular printer on your network and there is zero extra software required on any PC. You can print to the tablet from any operating system, from any program.

I use this extension https://github.com/Evidlo/remarkable_printer which let me print documents to RM. I’ve added a printer to my work PC and print Word-documents to read.

3.x support will come to toltec, I've been blocked by stuff outside of my control a couple of times. Including things happening in my life that I won't get into.

You can see the current progress here: https://github.com/toltec-dev/toltec/issues/820

As for the comment on the kernel change, that was actually an ask by someone in the community: https://github.com/reMarkable/linux/issues/8

I love seeing work in this space! I made a collaborative whiteboard app for the reMarkable a while ago: https://github.com/fenollp/reMarkable-tools

It is packaged in the homebrew Toltec repo https://toltec-dev.org/

Remember to read the warning on Toltec home page:

Do you ever plan to put your own tools and stuff on it? If so I would reccomened staying on 2.15 so you can use https://toltec-dev.org/. Also newest version 3 software forces infinite scroll and a lot of people absolutely hate it. I happily stay on 2.10. You can change versions as well, unofficially. Not sure if using the cloud still works with that, lots of us have cut that out entirely.

Definitely start by installing toltec if your device is on version <=2.15.1.1189, https://toltec-dev.org

Still waiting on ddvk-hacks and rm2fb. Only an updated rm2fb package is pending: https://github.com/toltec-dev/toltec/pull/656
